Non-Olympic Sports that Should Be

Fat British dudes playing darts would be awesome.

But really baseball.

American Ninja Warrior type event would be sick.

Trophy bass fishing. Honestly it would be fun if the target fish changed depending on the local fauna. For example, Largemouth Bass in the US but maybe Peacock Bass in South America or Pike in Paris.

Or Whales and Dolphin in Japan...

I think Lacrosse is going to be in the Olympics in 2028. As for the rest, pickleball is a sure thing if it's current popularity keeps up. It's no less of a sport than badminton.

Not sure why cricket hasn't been included as it's one of the most popular world sports. I guess it's hard to squeeze a tournament into the Olympic time frame. Similar issue that Rugby Union (15s) has. Can only play every week or so due to recovery time in between matches so that's a 6 week tournament between pool play and knockout matches.

Not for summer, but Ice Cross

I enjoy playing pickleball but I can't help but think how lame it is as a competitive sport. I think Squash is in for 2028 and deservedly so. Requires much more skill and athleticism.

Ultimate will be in at some point but probably in some weird format like 4x4 or 5x5 beach ultimate. Disc golf has an outside shot with the way it’s exploding in Europe.
